| Nothing against Ghostty, and in particular I really like the idea of libghostty, but a pretty significant part of its release notes is about how it's becoming more compatible with Kitty. If you don't care about native UI widgets (I and many others only use the terminal part of the UI, so I don't) I don't really see a reason to use Ghostty over Kitty. |

| Not OP either but I moved back to kitty after giving ghostty a try. Kitty is pretty mature and it has tons of features. I don't use them all by any means, but enough that I missed them. It has all those features yet it feels so barebones: kitty is a delight. |

| Also not OP but Ghostty to my knowledge doesn't support predefined layouts, so that was my reason. I tried zellij, which is awesome, but Kitty turned out to be much easier to set up and ultimately use. |

| I’m probably going to move away from Ghostty because it crashes too much on Linux |

| Not OP, but I've moved back to kitty because of ghostty horrendous startup time on linux |

| ▲ | idoubtit 21 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | My login session starts a background ghostty instance, then each new window is almost instant when I press my i3 shortcut. This process is documented with systemd, but it's not a requirement, a plain xsessionrc could work similarly: https://ghostty.org/docs/linux/systemd | |

| ▲ | Zambyte 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I figured that was an issue with the appimage for me. Did you install it a different way that you ran into that issue? | | | |
| ▲ | ulfbert_inc 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I'd say 100-200 ms is not horrendous but it can be much better without giving up on libghostty-vt :) check out Monstar. Now, Monstar has a bizarre issue (at least in my setup) where it displays blank instead of capital A when used with Fixedsys Excelsior, for some reason. But hey it starts in under 10ms. edit:typo |
